Porcelain Leaf Bowl 141

Product description

The vessels are constructed from leaves collected from nature walks and gardening expeditions. In the studio these specimens are then made into moulds. Each leaf is press-moulded and then cut using a scalpel before becoming part of the hand-built structure.

Slowing building the form is a very therapeutic way of working. As the process unfolds, Clare works on other pieces before returning to the main form, following the lines of a nest-like shape. The result focuses on the intricacies of nature, on the underlying structure, and on calming repartition.
